The scores and parts of Francis Poulenc’s Gloria contain several hundred errors and discrepancies. See my articles in the April 1999 and May 2000 issues of the Choral Journal for more details.
These errors and discrepancies greatly hamper the process of preparing the work for performance. As a service to those performing the Gloria, I have compiled a “Poulenc Gloria Correction Kit,” a comprehensive list of corrections. Included in the kit is a complete list of errata for all scores as well as individual lists of corrections for distribution to the singers and instrumentalists. Also included is a discussion of those problem areas where a definitive answer is not clear along with suggested solutions or alternatives. The kit is a tremendous time saver for anyone preparing the work for performance.

From Clinton Nieweg, Principal Librarian (retired) of the Philadelphia Orchestra and founder of the Major Orchestra Librarians’ Association:
“Each time the material is rented the librarians must spend many hours adding the corrections from the errata lists. Luckily Lee Barrow has spent many hours studying this work and has made available intensive lists for librarians to use.”
The Poulenc Gloria Correction Kit was developed over 30 years after several performances and examinations of all manuscript sources. The kit includes corrections for:
- the full score
- the piano/vocal score
- the choral score
- all instrumental parts
Choral Monograph & Errata List: Francis Poulenc's Gloria
The Poulenc Gloria Correction Kit has now been incorporated into the new BarGraphica Choral Monograph Francis Poulenc's Gloria.
This Monograph seeks to assist musicians who are preparing the Gloria for performance by providing them with relevant historical, analytical, and practical information about the composition and its composer, and by offering details about the many issues and discrepancies found in the performance materials. It is the author’s hope that this information will encourage more and better performances of this notable composition.
